Identifying the Hosts that can Access a LUN

In most SAN configuration, each LUN is mapped to an Initiator Group whose host members are the only ones authorized to access the LUN. This is called LUN masking. For each LUN, the solution displays its LUN serial number, the initiator group allowed to see and interact with it. In most cases, identifying the initiator group of a LUN is sufficient to recognize the server that is using it.

To quickly identify which hosts can access a LUN, expand the LUNs object in the PATROL Console, right-click the LUN you are interested in and select Infobox.
